As seen above, ten broadcasters will be seen in action, with each participant battling to stay in the ring while eliminating their opponents until they are the last person standing, thus ensuring fast-paced action and extra jeopardy.
The exact timings of this exhibition influencer boxing event have not been revealed yet, but Streams Charts will keep readers updated on any new information that emerges about the same. Those interested in catching the action live can head to Ibai's Twitch channel on July 13, while co-streaming will also be available, meaning fans can catch the bouts live on their favorite influencers' handles.
Tickets will also be available for sale from April, with Ibai revealing that prices will remain unchanged. This means that those in the mood to head to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid can get passes that cost between €30 and €140.
What happened at the La Velada del Año III
The third edition of this boxing event among streamers was held at the Civitas Metropolian Stadium, the home ground of Atletico Madrid, and reached 3.59M concurrent viewers. While Ibai contributed a large chunk of this figure on Twitch, content creators from other platforms also pitched in by watching what ended up becoming the most popular live stream ever on the purple platform.
The Spanish sensation himself hit above 3.4M PV, which beat the previous record of 3.35M PV that also came from his handle during the second edition of La Velada del Año. Additionally, more than 300 channels co-streamed the exhibition sports event, with the vast majority being Twitch representatives, although there were numerous channels from Kick and other platforms.
